About Liliane Cardin

We were born and raised here, it this small area in Normandy: Le Bessin. We spent our years of professional, nearly 40 years, in Paris, where we were able to know people from the sports and twinning environments: catering, entertaining sharing and transmitting are normal activities for us.

Liliane Cardin purchased this cottage in 1998

Why Liliane Cardin chose Grandcamp-Maisy

We had a dream of renting cottages and we made it true some months ago when we bought a big house surrounded by a large terrain, with an indoor swimming pool, just minutes from Grandcamp-Maisy, where we have also opened a cottage: Au pré verger

A marée hôtes used to be our seasonal home. We used to come here to revitalise. We have carefully refurbished it for you to have a nice holiday.

What makes this cottage unique

A marée hôtes is a lovely and sunny house. The fenced garden you allow you to spend good times with your family in total safety. Pets are welcome.

Located a few steps away from the Grandcamp-Maisy fishing harbour and the beach, close to the shops. A Marée Hôtes has an iodized perfume; ideal to revitalise.

ideal situation

Very clean well appointed cottage. Walking distance from all amenities restaurants bars harbour and carrefore. Easy drive to war landing sites, Bayeaux and much more. The cottage was very expensive especially with all the add ons. For this price we would expect a lot more such as a welcome pack, English TV, and soap in the bathroom. Despite the owners assurance it was impossible to connect wi fi.

Thank you!

Liliane was a lovely host and the cottage was perfect for our family's recent stay in Normandy. It is a short walk to the water, with its wonderful daily fish market. There is a grocery store and several restaurants nearby as well. We made day trips to D-Day sites and also Mont St. Michel. The cottage was spacious with plenty of room for two adults and our three children. The small kitchen was well stocked with everything we needed to cook at home. The town is very peaceful and Liliane's garden is beautiful too. We would definitely recommend this location to anyone staying in the area.

Great stay in Grandcamp-Maisy

We had a great stay at the cottage. The location and facilities were excellent and great hosts in Liliane and her husband. Very helpful and genuine nice people. Time went too quick at this fantastic place.

A fantastic stay and a fantastic host!

We had a fantastic time in Grandcamp-Maisy, and a great stay at the cottage. It was exactly as described in the listing, and an easy walk to town to enjoy the port and all the restaurants. It's also right in the middle of all the main sights/sites of Normandy and was the perfect location for us to base ourselves. The house has all the amenities, including fast wi-fi, and a beautiful garden. Liliane and her husband are wonderful and went above and beyond the call of duty, helping us with a few hiccups due to the airline and generally being the perfect property owners and hosts. We couldn't have asked for anything more, and recommend this place dearly. Merci bien!!!

Perfect location for WWII beach tours

This vacation home was the perfect base for all things war related. You are in the middle of a very sweet town with awesome bakeries and very friendly people. Our kids loved the fresh fish market. The house was nice, clean, and exactly what we needed during our weekend trip. The backyard was wonderful. We could relax and play after a full day of sightseeing. Liliane was very respectful and welcoming, even after we showed up three hours late due to traffic in France on a state holiday! I would recommend this property.

Very comfortable stay

The house was perfect for our family of four. Great location and the owners were wonderful. Upon our arrival we were met at the at the house by the owner and given a tour of the property.

We loved the black out shades! It was nice to be able to sleep in every morning. The TV was a new flat screen so we were able to hook out laptop up and watch movies in the evenings.

The house has a washing machine in the garage but it was very small. There was no dryer and the weather was rainy so drying outside wasn't possible. But just a short distance down the road is a laundry mat which was perfect.

This was a great launching point to see all the area of Normandy has to offer.

Perfectly located on the Norman Coast, in the heart of the Bessin and close to the Cotentin peninsula. 250m away from the fishing harbour of Grandcamp-Maisy, along the circuit of the landing beaches, Omaha and Utah beaches, going through Pointe du Hoc. Our cottage is surrounded by a wooded garden with flowers, perfect for relaxation.

At high tide is the perfect place to revitalise and discover this genuine and picturesque fishing village among a preserved nature and heritage.

The young and the not-so-young, the history lovers, the stone houses lovers, the leisure and discovery activity lovers, the nature, sun and sea lovers, nautical sports and horse riding enthusiasts, there is something for everyone in Normandy.

Discover Le Bessin throughout the seasons:

In spring: Many hiking paths that border the coast and cross the countryside allows you to enjoy nature arousing when the hillside gets covered by little yellow flowers named Primula, or when the hawthorn gets covered by strongly scented white and pink flowers.

Book now your stay in Normandy in June 2014 to celebrate the 70th anniversary of the recovery of freedom.

In summer: Ideal for fishing activities, on the sea or on the land. Grandcamp-Maisy welcomes, at the high tides season, many shrimp fishermen!

Book now your stay for August 2014 if you want to see the World Equitation Games that will take place in Normandy, at the St. Lo farm in particular.

In autumn: Ideal for strolling and enjoying the last days before winter. You can visit many historical sites (castles, mansions, museums, and more) that make Le Bessin famous.

A little bonus: Free use of the indoor heated pool, located just 10 minutes away on the owner's house, in the orchard.

In winter: discover the marshland when the river overflows, invading the nearby swamps.

- Participate at the Coquille St. Jacques festival in Grandcamp-Maisy, December 7 and 8 2013.

- Spend the New Year celebrations with your family on the seashore: A Marée Hôtes gets covered with the Christmas colours!
